Everyone who participates in group exercise can attest to the fact that it’s truly like a family and I think that’s most important now more than ever, due to covid-19 con- cerns. These classes are fun, engaging, challenging but most importantly safe due to our designated ‘Safe Zones’ marked in every class.

They also offer complimenta- ry classes for new members to be able to come in for a one time class to get a feel for what they have to offer.

Healthtrax renovates facility for social distancingBy KELLY BROWN@NEWBRITHERALD
The Healthtrax of Newing-ton recently renovated its East Cedar Street center, focusing on adhering to all CDC guidelines and ensuring state mandates are being met.
Members of the Newing-ton Healthtrax are back at it, enjoying group exercise classes spaced 12 feet apart, getting their heart pumping in the cardio center, which has their machines spaced six feet apart, all of which are allowing members to exer-cise mask free. They have completely redesigned their weight rooms to allow social distancing of six feet apart. Their pool provides aqua fit-ness to members who reserve lap lanes in half hour time slots.
Their maintenance staff works continuously in clean-ing the center and the equip-ment, providing the safest environment possible for their members.
“To help prevent the spread of covid-19 and keep the facility sanitized, we have
set up numerous equipment disinfectant stations as well as hand sanitizing stations,” Assistant Site and Member-ship Director Antonio Garcia said. “These stations are set up in every area that is open to our members, from our front entrance all the way down to our pool.
